Here’s a glimpse at one of my guided reading groups.
I noticed a lot of the kids in my group were struggling to read the inflectional ending words, so we stopped.
I went threw the book and had the students write the root word of the words they were struggling with.
Then we used map pencils to add the endings and re-read the words. I modeled how to cover up the “ing” when reading so they could focus on the root word.
I love having the kids write them this way rather than just using an anchor chart because I feel like it really gives them ownership!
How do you approach word work during guided reading groups?

One thing I always get⁣
asked is "How do you fit it all in?"....⁣
⁣
The real answer? I don't. But I can fit MOST of it in by repurposing almost everything I do. ⁣
⁣
If I do an activity whole group, I find a way to integrate it into stations. ⁣
⁣
I do phonics lessons whole group, but leave the independent practice in stations. ⁣
⁣
If I create a list of questions to ask in a whole group read aloud, I use the same questions in my small group. ⁣
⁣
It takes some very purposeful planning, but it's how I've made the most of the literacy time in my classroom!

This is your reminder that what you do matters. Yo

This is your reminder that what you do matters. Your love for reading can be instilled into your students. If you genuinely love it and take time to enjoy it, they will too.n #habitsarecopied ⁣

Double tap if you needed that reminder, too!

Non-Text activities are my favorite way to start the week! It's a great opportunity for students to practice a comprehension skill outside of a text.Magazine pictures are my FAVORITE! ⁣
I've been using them for years to help students build their inferencing skills. I cut pictures out of magazines (usually animals), but I do not cut the entire picture. ⁣
The purpose of the activity is for students to illustrate and write about what they think is happening in the rest of the picture. ⁣
I start this activity in a whole group setting, then we move it into a station!

Game Changer! I 100% believe in POSITIVE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT! This is a quick look at my classroom store. I use dojo points in conjunction with our school's "buzz bucks". ⁣
⁣
Every two weeks I let students buy something from the store! ⁣

The best part? These rewards don't cost me a dime!! ⁣

How do you reward positive behavior?

Relationships matter the most. You can't manage behaviors, if you don't have a relationship first! ⁣
